jim acosta caught up with him this morning. jim, give us a sense who he is. he got a lot of attention at the rnc convention last year. >> reporter: well, suzanne, he was a tea party favorite in the run-up to last november's elections, and it's interesting to note as a lot of americans seem to be saying at least in the polls that they want the congress to work together. they want republicans and democrats to work together on matters such as the fiscal cliff. they have sent more partisans into the capitol, and one of the those partisans is ted cruz. he's a tea party conservative and was the solicitor-general down in texas before running for the senate. he's a graduate of princeton and harvard and also the son of a cuban-american immigrant, but i had a chance to talk with him just briefly earlier this morning because he had been very critical of the negotiated agreement between mitch mcconnell and the vice president, joe biden, on the fiscal cliff. he made no bones about it when i talked to him heading into the capitol earlier this morning. here's what he had to

joining me now is virginia congressman jim moran. briefly, let me ask you first about the fiscal cliff because i have you here. you and your members will get back to work tomorrow. i'm wondering is there going to be a last ditch effort to avoid this and what do you think is going to happen? >> i think the likelihood is that we go over the cliff, martin. and, of course, that's my primary focus because my congressional district would be the hardest hit if beat go over the fiscal cliff. i've got tens of thousands of federal employees and a great deal of defense spending would be at risk. so if we don't suspend the sequester and it looks like this very small deal may not even achieve that, then i'd have to be a "no" vote. so if i had to guess right now, i don't think we're going to be able to reach a deal no matter how small it might be. of course, at the very best, all we would do is stumble forward for a couple more months until we hit the debt ceiling and then face another crisis which is really a crisis of confidence in the governmen
